Our last day in Sao Paulo was bittersweet! We were treated to several goodbye meals and celebrations from students and staff at Dom Jose, including delicious feijoada (a traditional Brazilian stew made with beans and pork) with seasoned rice, greens, and yucca flour. Students treated us to a performance of a traditional folklore dance to celebrate Festa Junina, an event which marks the end of summer and the beginning of Brazilian harvest.
Briana and I were proud to present Will, our host teacher, and his school with certificates of honor for their support of the TGC teacher exchange program.
After a tour of downtown Ribeirao Pires, we continued the Festa Junina celebration at Will's family's home! I feel beyond honored and privileged to have spent my field experience with this wonderful family and an amazing educator:)
